I hope you have a great meeting with Ecology Artisans.
I will have a work party day sometime in the near future at the education and demonstration site. If you send me an email I can let you know when it happens.
My email is
chris@permasystems.org
I would be game to come help you at your place some day too.
You can check out my blog on my website, I try to post some permaculture stuff and am also trying to post about building my cob house.

Good luck!
